just my own opinion, why do chest and shoulders together, if you have too due to time only take 1 day off, not 2, and if your on a.s. you really dont need 2 days off. how come no chest flys???? they expand rib cage somewhat, and also strengthen inner pecs.

Im doing chest and shoulders so I can do bi's and tris on the same day. I lift at school, so therefore I cant lift on the weekend. Is there really a problem with doing chest and shoulders on the same day? BTW Im a high school student, and im not on a.s. Thanks for your reply pizza, and others please reply. ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||

You're not on AS?! You are overtraining in a MAJOR way. Lift 3-4 times per week with a day's rest in between. Try day1-chest/shoulders/triceps, day2-off, day3-back/traps/biceps, day4-off, day5-legs/abs, day6-off, day7-off. If you are lifting heavy enough, you are taxing your nervous system as well as your muscles, so a day's rest between sessions will help increase your strength. Don't go crazy on sets either; 6-10 per body part is PLENTY, assuming they are intense enough. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||

i agree with what vlaovic said. that's pretty much the same split i'm doing, except it's: monday - legs/abs again, 6-10 sets per body part is good. go closer to 10 sets for the bigger body parts (legs, chest, back) and closer to 6 sets for the smaller stuff (bis, tris), especially if you're doing a 3 day split similar to one of these. ------------------ ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||

Definately; on that kind of a split, all the back exercises would pump up my biceps, so I'd only need a few intense sets to finish them off. Same with chest/triceps or thighs/calves. The idea is to stimulate not anihelate your muscles. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||

Your routine looks pretty good, however I would split up chest and shoulders, like the others said. If you can train5 days a week this would work good: Day 1- chest Day 2- back Day 3- legs day 4- shoulders day 5- arms There is no perfect routine for everyone. My training program is product of about 500 other programs from people I have met over the years. Find something that workd for you, then when you hit a plateau, make some adjustments. ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||

are you progressing on this routine? i would definatly lower the volume, 3 sets instead of 4 will be better IMO. for arms i would drop the preachers for another compound exercise, cable curl, dumbell curl, etc. it looks ok, on shoulder day i would drop the front raises. 3 sets of military press is enough for the front delts. leg day is fine. maybe replace the extentions with leg press, and drop 1 set of squats. back day also looks fine. the only thing i would change is, barbell shrugs instead of smith machine shrugs. so drop the sets per exercise from 4 to 3, make the above changes...and you have a great routine. good luck. ------------------ ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||

Enough, enough. That's overtraining!...The hell it is!... We could go on forever with our various routines and beliefs, but the fact is everyone's genetic are different. The only thing that holds true in my mind is listening to your body - instinctive training. My body tells me not to do that many sets - I get better results from only a few super-intense ones. Someone else may need super-high volume. It all depends on the individual. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
